[Healeys] coolant sensor nut

This is another of those many locations where I like to use Teflon tape to
prevent seizing of the nut to its mating threads due to corrosion, mineral
deposits, etc.

I do the same, but add a hose clamp around the cut in the socket so it 
won't spread around the nut when pressure is applied. Works for me. DP
